Overall, January has been a fairly quiet month. Boston has only had one day with measurable snowfall beyond a trace. That happened on the 14th when Boston received seven inches of snow.

We haven't had a long stretch of excessive cold either. While today's temperatures will stay well below the average of 36 degrees, the trend is to warm back up this weekend. We're in for a bit of a roller coaster ride in the coming weeks, quickly alternating between warmer than normal and colder than normal temperatures.
